TABLES. 



It has been the aim of the authors to gather together all the reli- 

 able tables at present available, which contain figures showing vol- 

 umes and growth for New England trees and forests. The principal 

 log rules used in the region have also been included. In connection 

 with the practice of forestry such tables are of great value, and it is 

 unfortunate that as yet, owing to the recent rise of the movement, 

 more information has not been obtained. The field is very incom- 

 pletely covered and indeed for many important species data is en- 

 tirely lacking. For certain trees, such as white pine and chestnut, 

 comparatively full studies have been made, and many valuable tables 

 are available. 



Except for tables XII and XXXIV, none of the tables given here 

 are original, but have been taken from various sources, of which 

 acknowledgment has been made in the preface. Also, in connection 

 with each table will be found a statement as to the source from which 

 it was secured. 



The tables have been arranged in the following groups: 



Log Rules. 



Volume Tables. 



Growth of Individual Trees. 



Yield Tables.
